One Year
It’s so hard to believe, but; one year ago this week, my sweet Grandma passed away.
My heart still aches. And, I don’t see that ever going away. I think of her every single day, at least once. I don’t ever want to stop thinking of her.
I’ve struggled a lot with what to do this week to honor her memory. I don’t know. I visited her grave last weekend, as well as one of her very favorite spots in her hometown. It’s not enough.
But, I love you Grandma. I love you.

I don’t usually do anything to commemorate the anniversary of my dad’s death, only because he died on my gramma’s birthday (and she’s still alive), but on his birthday I usually cook a meal that was his favorite. <3

I think the greatest tribute to her is the fact that you think about her every single day and miss her. You are honoring her by continuing to love her and keep her memory alive.

I know your sweet Grandma is looking down on you proud of the hilarious, awesome person that you are!
